2. That's irrelevant too.

The USSC, in its infinite wisdom, granted the President of the United States immunity for official acts done in pursuit of his Constitutional duty. Murder is not such an act.

There is no evidence at all that the murdered civilians were transporting restricted narcotics to the United States, and inexplicably, no attempt was made to even gather evidence from the wreckage of such a cargo onboard. But even if the effort had been made and such evidence discovered, this act was committed in international waters, and the United States does not have jurisdiction over them. This is legal obfuscation at its highest. The alleged circumstances do not alter the facts of the case.
